Performances
Dutch Edison winner and jazz singer Ineke Van Doorn has enjoyed international recognition in the music world for many years, and is a highly respected authority as both a singer and a teacher. As a singer Ineke has been praised for her personal style and her seemingly unlimited vocal capacities. Together with guitarist/composer Marc van Vugt she performs internationally. Their original music is thoughtful and multi-layered and combines lyrical songs with expressive improvisations.
Ineke has released 13 CDs with her own groups. She also collaborated with the the Metropole Orchestra and the Netherlands Chamber Choir, toured in Canada, Japan, Indonesia, France, Hungary, Macedonia and played at major jazz festivals in New York, Canada, France, Germany, Austria and The Hague.

Publications
In 2016 ‘Singing from the Inside Out, exploring the voice, the singer and the song’ was published by ArtEZ University Press. The title describes a fundamental approach to teaching CCM singing where the singer builds a unique identity supported by sound technical work. An earlier version of this book, Professioneel Zingen voor iedereen’ was published in Dutch in 2009.
Ineke regularly writes articles, e.g. for the Dutch Association of Singing Teachers (NVZ) and Zing Magazine. Topics covered are vocal improvisation, analyses of different vocal methods, grunting, GERD, mirror neurons, voice and menopause.
Ineke’s article on ‘Breathing Technique for Jazz/Pop Singers’ was accepted by the NATS Journal of Singing (USA) and will be published in the Nov/Dec 2021 issue. Click here for an overview.
Professional Development
In 2011 Ineke Van Doorn and Jolande Geven started organizing professional development courses for singing teachers with subjects focussed on vocal pedagogics, teaching styles, improvisation, group lessons, body and voice.
In addition they invited guest teachers like Bob Stoloff (USA), Meribeth Dayme (USA) and Gillyanne Kayes & Jeremy Fisher (UK).Individual coachings were offered and they gave workshops on the Peer Consultation Process for the European Voice Teachers Association (EVTA) and the Dutch NVZ (Singing Teachers Association).
In this article I write about our seven years of experience with teaching professional development courses.
